			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are endless goal setting exercises, but you can not just put them into a pretty little notebook, tuck them away and revisit them next New Year&#8217;s Day. Re-visit, recite and re-write your goals daily. Put them on 3&#215;5 index cards, carry a notebook with you, put them on your dry erase board, make an audio-visual presentation whatever! Just Re-work them and re-inspire your self with them.</p>

<p>During this short video I talk about going through this process. The example I use is for weight loss but this can be used for financial goals, community goals, behavior modification etc. Feel free to share this with your clients and incorporate it into your life:)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At home with the Mrs. with the kids in bed. We had an awesome Sunday together. Thank goodness the warm weather is here!</p>
<p>I was away on the road again early in the weekend. I uploaded this picture of a sculpture I saw in the airport in Atlanta that reminded me of my kids and the importance of play in our lives!</p>

<p>I got to have dinner with some friends and their Chocolate Labs Friday night, taking the train from my hotel to their house and back. The MARTA system works pretty well!</p>

<p>On Thursday, I got to meet some friends from The Rotater, Chris and Scott for dinner. Great guys on a mission to help others!</p>

<p>Finally made it home last night after teaching an NASM CPT Workshop in Atlanta on Friday and Saturday. An eclectic and fun group. We had two women expecting children, real estate agents, accountants, personal trainers, corrective exercise specialists, pilates and yoga instructors, group exercise instructors, rookies, 10 year plus veterans, fitness managers, facility owners, a marine (Oorah!), an entrepreneur, an aspiring actor and some clients turned trainers!</p>
<p>We had some interesting conversations regarding; exercises such as dips (<a href="http://theericbeard.blogspot.com/2009/03/shoulder-injuries-waiting-to-happen.html">see this old post about dips for me 2 cents on them</a>) , upright rows (more on <a href="http://theericbeard.blogspot.com/2008/11/never-do-this-exercise-if-you-want.html">upright rows)</a>,  lunges, corrective exercise and the importance of posture and alignment (<a href="http://theericbeard.blogspot.com/2009/05/we-are-going-down-hill-as-society-can.html">more on posture here</a>) and <a href="http://theericbeard.blogspot.com/2009/04/headaches-neck-pain-back-pain-and-one.html">here)</a>.</p>
<p>In addition to the technical information we went over, what stayed with me most was my lecture and our discussion about the<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> power of &#8220;why&#8221;</span>.  Understanding what motivates our clients to take action and what wakes <span style="font-style: italic;">us</span> up at 3 am reading to change the world! <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">I was touched</span> by the workshop and group and hope I was able to help the on their path to help others, move better, feel better and live better.</p>

<p>Yes..that chart is right, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">more than 66% of everyone in the US is overweight or obese!!!</span></p>
<p>People need our help for sure! And trainer&#8217;s want to help them.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I see many health and fitness professionals/<a href="http://ericbeard.com/">personal trainers</a> are so gung-ho to dive in and make a difference that they gloss over their own developmental plan. They spend more time planning for their client&#8217;s success than they do planning their own. They questions that we ask others; &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">What</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> </span>do you want?&#8221;, &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Why</span> </span>do you want it?&#8221; and &#8220;<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">How</span> bad do you want it?&#8221; are just as pertinent for ourselves.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Have you written out your goals?</span> There are endless goal setting programs available out there. Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn and John Maxwell have great info on this. Once you have them down, you should review them upon rising in the morning and right before you go to sleep at night. I have just added this part in and am loving it! It helps to set my compass!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Are you crystal clear on WHY</span> you want to reach your goals? If not, you probably will never reach them. The Why is the intrinsic, emotional driver. I love this quote from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche">Friedrich Nietzsche</a> &#8220;He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.&#8221; Find your why ASAP!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">How committed are you</span> to reaching your goals??? Do you live breathe and sweat your goals? Are you undeterred even in the face of temporary setbacks and seemingly insurmountable obstacles? You have to be! WE have to be.</p>
<p>I joined <a href="http://successuniversity.com/">Success University</a> a few months ago to fuel my engine. I enjoy reading, listening and watching professional development information tremendously, and <a href="http://successuniversity.com/">Success University</a> has provided me with unparalleled resources to help me grow.<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">It&#8217;s not just about making a living for me, it&#8217;s about making a difference. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Thank you to those of you who have been part of my process and to those who have let me contribute to theirs.</span></p>
<p>Thanks for reading go make a difference and let me know if I can help!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I enjoy my work on the road, but my true passion is currentyl upstairs sleeping, my three children. It is easy to get caught up making a living and making a difference for others, but at the end of the day it has to happen at home. I admit that personal and professional balance is a challenge. A unique example of a balance keep is that I had to help y daughter with her physical therapy exercises. Amazing that almost everyone needs regular flexibility and core training these days. Funny that my boys want in on the action when they see me working with my daughter. I love helping them, although it does not really feel like truly unplugging but when you love what you do&#8230;it doesn&#8217;t feel like work!</p>
<p>Enjoy your down time this weekend!</p>
